Not employed and no unemployment

Hello.. I am not sure if anyone can help, but I can't find the information I'm looking for online.

I am not employed. I receive SSD. My husband is also not employed nor does he receive unemployment. So there is zero reason to file taxes. Do we qualify for the most recent stimulus payment? and if so How do I go about getting it?

    The main reason to file a return would be to claim the first and second stimulus payments if neither have been received for each of you. If your income is under $150,000 and you meet other eligibility requirements, then you would qualify for the third stimulus payment.

     

    The first stimulus payment was for up to $1,200 each.

    • If not received, it will be refunded to you on the 2020 tax return filed in the spring of 2021.

    The second stimulus payment was for up to $600 each.

    • If not received, it will be refunded to you on the 2020 tax return filed in the spring of 2021.

    The third stimulus payment was for up to $1,400 each.

    • If not received, it will be refunded to you on the 2021 tax return filed in the spring of 2022.
